With the holidays only months away, Amazon announced that they are getting ready for their peak season by hiring 120,000 new workers for seasonal jobs. The positions range from customer service to sorting and distribution to working in an Amazon warehouse. There are both full-time and part-time positions available in 33 states, and Amazon's website
has a list of all of the jobs currently available.
Wondering whether Amazon is hiring in your neck of the woods? They have seasonal job openings in the following states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.
If you're hoping to make some extra cash by working for Amazon this holiday season, there are a few details you should know. Potential employees must be at least 18 years old for the majority of these seasonal positions. The pay rate typically ranges between $10 and $13 per hour, depending on where you live and the responsibilities of the specific job. Some employment opportunities also offer medical and other benefits.
Need another reason to apply? Although these are temporary opportunities, seasonal employees may have an advantage
when it comes to being hired for permanent positions after the holidays are over, according to a statement from Amazon executive Dave Clark
. So, it could be a great way to get your foot in the door at the online retail giant.
